whether the bonds to be refunded have matured or shall

application of the proceeds in payment of the bonds to be
refunded, or by exchange of the refunding bonds for the bonds to
be refunded. The holders of any bonds to be refunded are not
compelled without their consent to surrender their bonds for
payment or exchange prior to the date on which they are by their
terms subject to redemption by option or otherwise. Any
refunding bonds are subject to the provisions of W.S. 15-1-703
and may be secured as provided in W.S. 15-1-704. The principal
proceeds from the sale of any refunding bonds shall be applied
only as follows:
(i) To the immediate payment and retirement of the
bonds being refunded; or
(ii) To the extent not required for the immediate
payment of the bonds being refunded then the proceeds shall be
deposited in trust to provide for the payment and retirement of
the bonds being refunded and to pay any expenses incurred in
connection with refunding but provision may be made for the
pledging and disposition of any surplus, including, without
limitation, provision for the pledging of any surplus to the
payment of the principal of and interest on any issue or series
of refunding bonds. Money in any trust fund may be invested in
direct obligations of or obligations the principal of and
interest on which are guaranteed by the United States government
or obligations of any agency or instrumentality of the United
States government. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
as a limitation on the duration of any deposit in trust for the
retirement of bonds being refunded but which shall not have
matured and which shall not be presently redeemable or if
presently redeemable, shall not have been called for redemption.
